OMG! I almost forgot to blog again. I was so busy deleting 1000 or so old emails.

Even the gum trees are dying
Amelia and Kevin and Leia (the cat) arrived about 10:15 last night. Kevin is staying at his Mom's, but Amelia and Leia are here. It is so exciting to have them here, I could barely sleep last night. I want to rush around and cook things, but trying not to make noise.

I spent most of the day applying for a job with the courts in Athens. It is such a long shot (they want cour experience) that I was really discouraged and hating wasting all the time I spent. But you have to keep trying. This would be a full-time intense job that pays over $50,000 a year. I could handle intense for a few years and sock away some bucks! The day before I applied for a $10/hr part time assistant to the board of directors of an environmental group. It's hard to be excited about $10/hr. Is that really what I'm worth? And of course, they may not choose me or even interview me.

Cool here last night, in fact, so cool the windows are closed!

My Dad was here for a little in the afternoon, working (and playing) on his computer and watering the garden to try to keep it alive, especially the fall things he has just planted. He had a sad day.

Ray and I went to dinner with Becky and Kent and some friends of theirs at the Melting Point. The food was okay, but we were really there for the band--Sons of Sailors. They play Jimmy Buffet songs, also some Van Morrison and one of my favorites by Crosby Stills--Southern Cross. It was really fun; we danced some. We had to tear ourselves away early to be here when Amelia arrived.

No photos; computer difficulties again.
